Hey everyone. This will be my second map on Forgehub, my first being a recreation of Serenity I posted a few weeks back. This ship is completely original, though I did take inspiration from several places.

The Fifth Column
Living up to its name, the Fifth Column can insert a mechanized Spartan-II team anywhere in intersteller space undetected.

The Fifth Column is a UNSC specialized Prowler-type vessel. Instead of gathering intelligence, the Fifth Column uses its stealth capabilities to insert Spartan II's, complete with a compliment of armored vehicles, weapons, etc, behind enemy lines. It's fast, can be used on long voyages and in atmosphere. It's main drawback is a lack of armor and firepower.

I've filled the entirety of the open space inside. Also, the floorplan inside doesn't effect the hull shape, so if you wanted to you could clear the inside out and completely rearrange it (you're free to do this, just credit me.).

Now the ship itself:

A view from the aft of the ship. It's supposed to look like a more organic UNSC ship. You can see some of the point defense turrets here.

Another outside view. You can see the cockpit and the ship's two radar/satellite dishes.

A look inside the drop bay. All the vehicles can be driven out and land on the sandbank. Walking out will kill you though. There's one of those ramp mounted machine guns on the right...

...which can actually prove to be quite entertaining.

A look down the cargo bay from the ramp. This was inspired by larger military cargo planes like C-130s and C-5s. Warthogs are stored in the curved structure of the ship.

Service ramp up to the main floors in the back. There's a mongoose behind it and a cargo door similar to Serenity's. You can also see the door to the spartan barracks.

Inside the Spartan barracks, with storage space above the bunks.

If you go up the last ramp from the cargo bay (on right), you are now on the main floor. If you continue...

You'll be in the armory/cafeteria/lounge. Even if the Spartan's take rec time, they'll be ready to fight.

Rest of the rec room. In the back is a safe room, with its own devoted communication dish.

Back by the ramps. Behind the spartan are the crew quarters, which I'll let you explore. They've got desks, a couple view screens, and beds. The captains quarters is at the end. Now to the final floor...

Ramp from main floor on left. Here there are 4 cryo pods, and ahead is the med bay.

Inside the med bay.

The med bay window from the outside.

If you didn't go towards the med bay, you'll end up on the bridge. You can see view screens, a table, and electronic jamming equipment on the ceiling. Note: the version you'll download looks different, it has several camp chairs to make it look more used.

I've separated the bridge from the cockpit, cause really they're two different rooms. The cockpit is up this ramp.

I may post a couple more pics, but for now thats it! Hope you like it, please comment and give me some feedback.
